Australian live cattle exports have grown over the past year, driven by dry conditions that raised turnoff. Indonesia has revised its breeder import policy to require 5% fertile breeders from July 2019, which is double the previous effective share.
Indonesia's breeder rules and competition from Brazil shape Australian feeder demand and export prices, with the policy target likely hard to meet at current volumes.
After 28 past neutral policy events, Feeder Cattle moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.8%), and +0.8% over 20.
